    "content": "We all agree that our role as legislators is the same, irrespective of which divide of the House we come from. Oversight is a basic role for all of us, whether we are in Government or in the Opposition. When such an oversight Report is tabled before us, it is our role as legislators to pick out issues that speak to Kenyans. I support this Report, which has mentioned the evils that are bedevilling Kenyans. One of the evils that has caught my attention is ethnicity. It is true and it is in the public domain that the absence of some tribes in Government institutions is very questionable. If you conducted a head count, you will find that some tribes are missing in Government institutions. A tribe like Turkana has never had a Chief Executive Officer (CEO) in a Government institution. That speaks to the fact that regional balancing is a dream yet to be realised in this country. It is not like there are no educated people from that community. Most communities have taken their children to school and they are qualified for those positions. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
